We only purchase and sell the best and finest rattan furniture made by the best and most well-known American designers and manufacturers, including

Ritts Company. (Herb Sr. and Shirley Ritts)
Tropitan Seven Seas Rattan
Paul Frankl Tropical Sun Rattan

These designers and companies helped to popularize rattan furniture in the United States during the 1930s through the 1960s.

Shirley Ritts was the mother of the photographer and music video director Herb Ritts Jr. Shirley Ritts was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 28, 1920. Herb Ritts Sr. also invented the "S springs" under the cushions in the early 50s and replaced the wrapping with preformed plastic.

The Piece has been meticulously refinished to preserve the natural honey-color patina. Perfect for creating a warm, elevated tropical-inspired living space. In the style of Paul T. Frankl.

Every piece we offer is carefully restored by experts—structurally tightened, rewrapped where needed, and finished with a long-lasting protective coat. With nearly 100 years of combined rattan knowledge, we ensure each item is both visually stunning and built for decades of continued enjoyment.

Our high-resolution photos accurately show the flawless workmanship and timeless coastal character of each restored rattan piece. Vintage rattan is known for lasting 60–100 years, and our refinishing process prepares it to last another 75.

Harvey Schwartz, the leading authority on vintage rattan and author of Rattan Furniture: Tropical Comfort Throughout the Home, offers signed copies of his 160-page book for $39.99.
